Today, we honor Juneteenth by celebrating freedom, recognizing the resilience of the Black community, and reaffirming our commitment to building communities where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

What an honor to celebrate three of our projects at DJC Oregon’s Top Projects event last week!

🏆 𝗝𝘂𝗹𝗶𝗮 𝗪𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗛𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲: Oregon’s tallest mass timber residential building, delivering 90 units of permanent supportive housing in a 12-story tower.

🏆 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗸𝘂 𝗸𝘂𝗺𝘁𝘂𝗸𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝘂𝘀: “Learning House” in Chinook Wawa, this community-centered development provides 84 affordable homes, a public plaza, resident gathering spaces, and an on-site early childhood education center operated by NAYA.

🏆 𝗧. 𝗝𝗼𝘆𝗰𝗲 𝗣𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗽𝘀 𝗔𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀: A transformative redevelopment that replaced 40 existing affordable homes and added 147 new affordable homes, along with a mass timber community center.

These projects reflect the power of collaboration and a shared commitment to creating affordable, sustainable, and community-focused housing throughout our region.

Congratulations to Neighborhood House on the grand opening of its new Senior Center and Free Food Market! Neighborhood House has been serving the Portland community for generations, and we are honored to have played a role in creating a new home for services that support health, connection, food security, and independence. This new facility creates a welcoming hub where older adults can gather, stay active, access vital resources, and build meaningful connections. The new Free Food Market expands Neighborhood House’s ability to address food insecurity while providing a dignified, accessible, and community-centered experience for neighbors in need.

Walsh Construction is proud to celebrate the completion of a project that will provide lasting benefits for the Southwest Portland community for years to come. A special thank you to the Walsh team whose dedication helped bring this vision to life: Dan Snow, Brian Johnson, Meghan Herteg, Patti M Miles, Mike Lundmark, Nick Cardoza, Monica Vilay, and Jake LaManna.

This project reflects the power of partnership and a shared commitment to strengthening our community. We are grateful to have worked alongside an outstanding team:

Seeing the Senior Center reopen and the Free Food Market serving the community once again is a powerful reminder of what thoughtful investment in community infrastructure can achieve. Congratulations to Neighborhood House, its staff, volunteers, supporters, and the countless community members who helped make this project possible.

That’s a wrap on this year’s LeadingAge Washington in Wenatchee!

We had a great time connecting with partners, clients, and senior living professionals from across Washington.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth. We loved seeing familiar faces, meeting new ones, and being part of conversations around senior living.

Work is wrapping up at 73 Foster, and we’re excited to see this important community project nearing completion! Developed by REACH Community Development, 73 Foster will provide 64 affordable homes, including family-sized apartments and Permanent Supportive Housing for neighbors transitioning out of homelessness. Designed and built with sustainability, health, and accessibility in mind, the development includes energy-efficient systems, solar power, enhanced indoor air quality, and thoughtfully designed homes that support residents of all abilities.

The success of 73 Foster demonstrates the lasting impact of strong partnerships and a shared commitment to creating housing opportunities for our community.

Welcome to Walsh! 🎉

Congratulations to the Walsh Climbing Club (WCC) on another successful summit of Mt. Hood! After months of training, teamwork, and early morning preparation hikes, this year’s team reached the 11,249-foot summit of Oregon’s highest peak, continuing a proud tradition that began with the club’s founding in 2014.

The climb began under the stars and ended with a safe sunrise descent and celebration at Silcox Hut — a rewarding finish to an unforgettable journey built on perseverance, trust, and camaraderie.

Huge congratulations to Brian Hopkins, Jacob Hurley, Justin Cole, Kolby Shimojima, Micah Gibson, Mindee Tower, Sami Tower, Tony Sjolander, and Tyler Granshaw on this incredible accomplishment. Your determination and teamwork truly reflect the spirit of Walsh Construction Co.

A special thank you to Martin Houston for founding and leading the Walsh Climbing Club over the years, and to Timberline Mountain Guides, INC for their expert guidance and unwavering commitment to safety. Congratulations as well to Marty and his two sons, Emmett and Owen, on the incredible accomplishment of summiting together this year.

We’re incredibly grateful to our executive team of Matt Leeding, John Wied, Ryan Wilde, and Jay Nees for continuing to support opportunities that strengthen connection, teamwork, and culture across our company.

Join us in celebrating this amazing team and their journey to the summit!

As HDC’s King County Affordable Housing Week comes to a close, we’re grateful for the opportunity to come together with partners and community members to celebrate the work happening across the region.

This week, we had a great time touring Mercy Housing NW’s Burien Family Housing project, which Walsh is proud to be building. When complete, the project will bring 91 affordable homes to the Burien community and will be located next to Mary’s Place’s new family shelter, creating a connection between housing, services, and support for families.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and to HDC for bringing people together.
